Great Story

OK, I haven't really been doing too many political posts lately, even though this is a politics-centric blog, but this was too good to pass up. Another sports post, but this one is a good one.

I first took note of this story on a Monday Night game between the Packers and the Eagles. The current Packers running back is a kid named Sam Gado. He's the son of Nigerian immigrants to the United States, who was brought to the US as a result of an evangelical church's desire to reunite a family. He played college ball at Liberty University (for those who don't know, Liberty is Jerry Falwell's university, so to your lib friends it should be the focus of all evil) as a third-string running back, but somehow, through a series of events, ended up on the playing field for the Packers. The rest is history. Read the whole thing here. Here too.

It isn't all roses though - like most rookies, he has a fumbling problem. Most everyone is rooting for him though, so I hope he solves it. I love it whenever a class act like this guy shows up in the NFL. Cheers the spirit.

I should forward this story to libs who think that Christians are the focus of all evil.
